Comic book movies have reached a turning point.
, there have been have been over 110 American movies based on comics since the year 2000, but only six of them directed by women.
It’s a decisive moment for Hollywood in 2020: We’ll either see women as powerful protectors on screen for years to come if audiences embrace these blockbusters, or we’ll go back to business-as-usual with the usual roster of he-man heroes. Either my seven-year-old daughter will grow up in an era where she can My greatest hope is that moment will mean more than just a patronizing “good for you, ladies!” pat on the back.
2020 can’t be just a bemused blip in reaction to the #MeToo movement. It needs to be the start of an acknowledgement among filmgoers that what we spend our money on determines who gets to be a hero and who doesn’t, and that consumers contribute to the decisions made by Hollywood producers. If we want to build a culture in which our sons and daughters no longer ask why more women don’t direct films and win Oscars for doing so, let’s start by showing Hollywood that a year-long slate of female-led blockbusters can be profitable as well as powerful.
Whether you’re a comic book movie fan or not, I urge you to go see these movies. If the young women in your life grow up to ask why there weren’t more movies made about heroic heroines when they were kids, what will your answer be? “Because I didn’t bother to buy a ticket when I had the chance?”
